I think (though could be wrong) that the double colon here  ^^
will cause rsync to use rsh as a transport, despite the fact that
you specified ssh as an *available* transport with '-e ssh' earlier.

And while we're on the subject, what's the safest way of doing this as root
(to preserve permissions, and have access to a whole fs tree;
I'm not too bothered about crypto at the destination directory)

Cheers.
